Sick man landed
A sick steward was brought ashore from the vessel Coastal Trader in Lyttelton Harbour last evening. The steward. Mr F. Dyson, was treated by a doctor and spent last evening in a Christchurch hotel. He will fly to Auckland today. The Coastal Trader was sailing for Dunedin from Auckland when she diverted tc Lyttelton Harbour to enable Mr Dyson to receive help. The ship was originallv supposed to have transferred Mr Dyson on to the pilot cutter at the Lyttelton heads, but the swell there was too great and the Coastal Trader sailed up the harbour as far as the Cashin Quav breakwater. The pilot boat sailed up under the rear doors of the Coastal Trader and Mr Dyson stenned on bo’rd. He arrived in Lyttelton about fi n.m. and was able to walk ashore.
